Add importance setting to a resource
Make sure you correctly set the "importance" for individual learning resources in a reading list so that students can prioritise their study.
Prescribed Reading/Viewing/Listening:
- Informs the student that this is an essential resource for this unit.
- This reading may or may not be a part of the Prescribed Text for this unit.
Recommended Reading/Viewing/Listening:
- Informs the student that this resource is useful to the topic, but is less important than a Prescribed reading.
Further Reading/Viewing/Listening:
- Informs the student that this resource can help build knowledge on a particular topic.
Prescribed Text:
- A resource that has been classified as Prescribed Text in the unit guide for this unit.
- A resource that students are encouraged to purchase.
Recommended Text:
- A resource that has been classified as Recommended Text in the unit guide for this unit.

Delete resources, paragraphs, or sections on a list
Academics are able to delete Resources, Paragraphs, or Sections that they create on a list. For assistance with archiving or deleting a list please contact Course Resources and Access team.
Caution
Be aware that when a Resource, Paragraph, or Section has been deleted from a list, there is no undo function. Resources will have to be manually added back onto the list using "Add Resource". Paragraphs and Sections will have to be rebuilt from scratch (as long as you haven't published the list since you deleted the item, you can "View as Student" and manually copy the deleted item back onto the list). For more information on this, please contact the Course Resources and Access team.
